The bar graph shows the number of dresses sold at David's shop.
- In January, David sold ______ times as many dresses as in March.
- Each pair of dresses was sold for $80. How much did he earn for the month when he sold the most number of dresses?
(a)
Number of dresses that David sold in January = 60
Number of dresses that David sold in March = 30
60 ÷ 30 = 2
In January, David sold 2 times as many dresses as in March.
